Forests can't be used in NDC (nationally determined contribution).Forests are in adaptation mode, that is, death by drought, bugs, fires, until new ecosystem members have moved in long after °C is stabilized.
Trees adapt to longer growth seasons, higher temperatures, over-fertilisation by CO2. This means less water and nutrients and makes them unhealthy.Trees only park our CO2, then they burn.
#Koutsodendris et al 2020 counted pollen at Lake Ohrid, Albania.
Look at the gap between rising °C 🟡 vs rising pollen count for temperate/mesophilus trees 🟤 🟢.Adapting to a new climate takes time, even with seed-carriers and migration corridors: 1000yrs until new ecosystem members have moved in and adaptation to a new stable climate is accomplished.
But we don't have migration corridors. We have settlements and agricultural wastelands with pesticides everywhere.
Also, sinks start outgassing once ppm drops. So if your #NDC include negative emissions by DACS or CCS to undo a temperature #overshoot, to really remove 1t CO2 from the system, you must remove 1.5t once we're in the negative emissions phase.
Outgassing is a physical process to balance changes in atmosphere composition. But of course, when ppm drops considerably, it also changes °C and regional climate and hydrological cycles – again. So your ecosystem is going into adaptation mode all over again. Forests burn.. again.
Overshoot scenarios aren't a good idea, even if we had working technology and concepts. CO2 removal adds another stressful phase and prolongs adaptation to changing factors – for us and our human systems, and for ecosystems on land and in the ocean.

"Global #carbon #emissions from #FossilFuels have risen again in 2023 – reaching record levels, according to new research from the Global Carbon Project science team.
The annual Global #Carbon Budget projects fossil carbon dioxide ( #CO2) emissions of 36.8 billion tonnes in 2023, up 1.1% from 2022.
Fossil CO2 emissions are falling in some regions, including #Europe and the #USA, but rising overall – and the scientists say global action to cut fossil fuels is not happening fast enough to prevent dangerous #ClimateChange.
#Emissions from land-use change (such as #deforestation) are projected to decrease slightly but are still too high to be offset by current levels of #reforestation and #afforestation (new forests).
The report projects that total global #CO2 #emissions (fossil + land use change) will be 40.9 billion tonnes in 2023.
This is about the same as 2022 levels, and part of a 10-year “plateau” – far from the steep reduction in emissions that is urgently needed to meet global #climate targets."

#Afforestation & #reforestation may be strategies to mitigate GHG #emissions & #globalwarming. China's "Grain for Green Program" may induce #carbon sinks that offset 1-2% of the extensive #CO2 emissions from all of #China in 2060: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2023.107272 #climatechange #landuse

@alexwild the problem with tree planting is often an extreme overrating of the C sequestration potential - on the one hand if #grasslands are used for #afforestation there is a net loss of #soil C for the first decade(s). On the other there is a high risk for #damage and #disturbance (which is likely to increase in future) during stand development that is not accounted for in the calculations - we should plant trees AND strongly reduce GHG emissions.

"But there’s a lot of #carbon stored in the #forest #soils in #Ireland and we have to be aware of that." To establish storage banks of carbon, these forests have to be kept #intact — as opposed to harvested like spruce — potentially for a very long time, so we don’t disturb the soils. "The less disturbance there is to the forest the less carbon is lost out of the system."

@HelenGraham as a former member and activist with #SGP @ScottishGreens I find it particularly galling that the current #Green party, now in government! with #SNP can’t see past this naked #greenwashing #greenwash by #GreenLairds and #corporateWideboys
The same problem is evident with poorly designed and under regulated #Peatland restoration and #afforestation schemes. Done in the name of #CarbonSequestion to feed the #scam #netZero #CarbonCredit #market.

@anamckellar
This is good news indeed.
Now if we could just persuade #India to continue the #NaturalRegeneration along the whole stretch of its #Himalayan foothills which constitute the Indo-Nepal border.
#Forest #Afforestation -
#forestation = growing a forest
#ProForestation = growing an existing forest to it's fullest ecological potential.
#ReForestation = regrowing a forest where one was before. This is often done to stop #deforestation and #desertification.
#afforestation = growing a forest where none was before, e.g. to regenerate the soil or attract rain.
Some of my favorite forestation projects:
The #GreatGreenWall of Africa - a project to stop the desertification of the Sahel region.
#Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees.
#ForestFinance - invest in forestation projects across the globe.
